Manicures!



In the last week or so, I've done my nails at least 3 times. It's partially because my job doesn't allow for chipped nail color for those of us that have patient contact. But if I'm being completely honest, it's because my favorite color changes on a daily basis, so I get tired of colors very fast.


So, here for you today are not one. Not two. But THREE colors. Wow, are you ever lucky! THREE colors. Okay, well maybe it's not as exciting for you as it is for my, but just pretend to make me feel better.


This first color is from OPI. It's "Warm & Fozzie" from the Muppet line. I LOVE this color. It's mainly a copper color, but when it catches the light, it has a gold shimmer to it. Perfct for fall! A lot of fall colors are bland, but this one keeps things fabulous.


Like all OPI nail polishes, the brush is thick with no kinks. It applies the color smoothly without streaks. It dries relatively fast, but I always follow up with my Seche Vits Top Coat for a super-fast dry time.


The only downfall is that it requires 3 coats to get the amount of color I like. In the photo, it's only 2 coats. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.


This next color is Malaga Wine, also from OPI. This is the color I am currently wearing for Halloween. In this photo, it appears more cherry red, when it is actually a blood red.


This color would have sufficed with one coat, but I did a second just to be safe. Definitely give this a 5 out of 5 stars.




And last, and probably least is China Glaze's Starboard. I purchased this color from Ulta for $3.99


It is such a pretty color, but I don't think it vibed well with my skin tone. My skin tends to have warm undertones, and I think this is much more suited to someone with cool undertones.


I like the China Glaze brushes.  They aren't as luxurious as the OPI brushes, but the don'y streak or kink. And you get plenty of nail polish for the price/


Unfortunately, I am going to give this a 3 out of 5 stars for myself. It may look fabulous on you. If you've tried it and love it, please let me know!
